Description
This 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Convertible’s modifications include a 427-cu.in. engine and a five-speed overdrive transmission swap and subtle suspension upgrades.
The seller’s husband purchased this sports car from a jet engine mechanic about nine years ago, drove it less than 5,000 miles since then, and has recently passed away.
“It runs well and has no known issues,” she notes.
The 327 engine and manual transmission that they were told are original to the car go with the sale, as does a host of extra parts.
A 427-cu.in. OHV V8 was installed by the previous owner, and though no paperwork was given to the current one, the photos reveal a y carburetor, lbrock aluminum intake manifold, and AFR aluminum heads.
An aluminum radiator and dual electric fans are also present.
-exit exhausts were added.
The engine starts “normally,” and there are “no leaks,” the seller says.
“No issues” exist with shifting the five-speed transmission that her husband had installed.
Which gearset resides in the Positraction differential that he bolted in isn’t known.
He did have “the bird cage redone,” she points out.
A big-block style hood was installed and 396 emblems were added, but she assures that the engine is a 427.
This car was repainted by a previous owner in what may be the factory code-U Rally d, and “the finish is generally good with no swirls,” the seller says.
The black convertible top is “like new, the glass is very good, the seals don’t leak,” and the lighting works.
Though the data plate lists standard interior (STD), which would be vinyl, the seating surfaces appear to have black leather upholstery, but it has not been confirmed.
New door panels, carpet, and an AM/FM radio with a port for an MP3 player were installed, and the trim is intact.
The gauges and heater/defroster operate properly.
There are no issues with the 15-inch steel wheels or spinner wheel covers.
The tires DOT date codes are 2 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Convertible will provide neck-snapping performance with its 427, while further enhancing the driving experience via its shift-for-yourself five-speed that also keeps highway revs in check.
